Compilation
===========
Forge is a static library. To compile, include the libforge.a file in your library directory and the forge.mod file in your modules directory.

Add the following arguments to your linker arguments:
-lforge -lgtk-2-fortran -lgtk-win32-2.0.dll -lgdk-win32-2.0.dll -lgthread-2.0.dll -lgdi32 -lole32 -latk-1.0.dll -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0.dll -lpangowin32-1.0.dll -lpango-1.0.dll -lcairo.dll -lcairo-gobject.dll -lgobject-2.0.dll -lgmodule-2.0.dll -lglib-2.0.dll -lintl.dll

Add '-cpp' to the Fortran compiler arguments.

gtk-fortran is required to be already installed and working, otherwise the library linking won't work.



Instructions
============
Instructions are available in the instructions.txt file.


Test File
=========
The test.f90 is a test file I use to call the functions and create a GUI.  Until I finish creating proper documentation, you can use that see what the library can do.  All the possible functions are there, though most are commented out.
